Unfortunately this apology does not include Filipino or Korean labourers, or possibly even Western POWs.

Mitsubishi plans to offer apology, compensation to over 3,700 Chinese wartime laborers

Mitsubishi Material Corp. has offered a "sincere apology" along with compensation in a proposed out-of-court settlement with Chinese plaintiffs who were forced into labor during World War II.
The Asahi Shimbun has the details of this potentially historic deal that could affect some 3,765 Chinese citizens who were forced into hard labor in the company's wartime mines:
According to the proposal, the company will acknowledge its “historical responsibility,” pay 100,000 yuan (2 million yen or $16,140) to each plaintiff, the sources said.
Mitsubishi Materials will also provide 300 million yen to build a memorial monument dedicated to the workers’ suffering and to cover research expenses to shed light on the truth concerning the plaintiffs’ suffering during the war. In addition, it will pay 250,000 yen to each former worker to invite them to a memorial service for the victims, the sources said
